The Independent rurnverein,s Exhibits


A pretty set of small boys and girls were at
the training exhibition Of the Independent
Turnverein at Enelsh's Opera house last night,
and they showed that they had good quantity
of muscle accompaniment of their good
looks. The affair was under the direction of
Turning Master r. Pertuch, and was
very creditable, not only TO the turn
verein but to Mr.. Pertuch. One of
the features Of the entertainment was
the grand torch march, participated in by twelve
couples, and the difficult figures which they
formed without the slightest mistake elected
frequent applause from the audience. The little
girls, none of whom were over ten years of age,
with their DOLLS created good deal of merri-
ment. and the turning Of the small boys was an
other applauded feature. The plastic tableaux,
America" "Kruzer Absched" and Hercules
and Lichias," were excellent in every particular
Other features of the programme were equally
interesting. and the success OF the exhibition in
point of attendance was great.

uninterrupted since last summer, and has been
more rapid since his return to the Treasury De-

far the most exacting and lahorious in the fed

snub from Democracy. Last fall, when the
Knights presented a candidate good Demo

support to one of whom a leading Democrat said
he sympathized with the unhappy South in the
dark days of her distress. Laborng men and

The Harrison Idea.

Ohio is not generally backward in pushing her
ideas or keeping her statesmen in mind, but
''Oid Tippecanoe' seems to have been sadly neg
lected, though, as James e. Murdoch, the actor
we'll notes, the victorious campaign of 1910 and
the election of Lincoln in 1860 are associated
epochs in our national history.
The stubborn contest that the Harrison Of to-
day is making in Indiana is also a reminder of
the fighting courage which elevated the Harri-
son Of l84o to the plane Of popular worship
Some Ohio ideas may we'll be left to perish,
but this Harrison memorial idea should not be
allowed to fail of rehabilitation.
